Some guy earned himself 3 days in the Wise County Jail this morning for not following through with the terms of a divorce decree. (He represented himself and seemed well prepared. Didn't change the facts, but well prepared nonetheless.) Edit: I really don't have any details since I only caught the end of the hearing.

Steven York had a second court appearance today. Looks like a second lawyer is involved in the case and it might be Larry Moore out of Fort Worth (but I'm not sure.)

For 12:57 PM's question--the divorce case was most likely a Motion For Enforcement, which decides whether or not there was contempt of court in the violation of the decree, which can involve criminal penalties.

Steven York admitted to intentionally killing Sgt. Randy White. What is his defense? How many lawyers do the tax payers have to pay for when he has admitted his guilt on tape? What does having one more lawyer accomplish?

If so, TO DAMN BAD. That doesn't work with me or our legal system. They don't show a cop killer 'mercy' because he was methed out.

If you're such a Steven York fan and you knew he had a drug problem but you chose to do nothing to try and help him, then you will be judged. Shame shame shame on you.

The methed out Steven York intentionally killed Sgt Randy White and that is a tragedy. His family must muddle through without him every day. His daughter is growing up with just the memory of her father.

8:20 i guess the cops he went to chose a "high-speed" chase to help him? that seems to be what caused him to kill the officer on purpose.if they knew who they were chasing, all they had to do was back off and get him at his house. the high-speed chase was unnecessary. now who will be judged?? bless officer's white family, but his friends could have prevented all this.

the officers involved in the chase definately contributed to the death. their persuit of york was senseless if you ask me. i'm just saying..they knew who york was & knew he was involved in drugs. it's tragic, yes & i see your point of view. but some police chases are not needed. this was just one of them. i respect the law & those that enforce them. but, there are cases when some of them go to excess. you know some of them i'm sure. bless you & have a nice day..

I'm just can't stand it when people blame the police for playing a part in Sgt White's death.

I understand that York was a meth head driving a stolen car. But, he still murdered a police officer. Saying he wasn't in his "right mind" is no excuse and certainly no defense.

Yes, high speed chases do somtimes end badly. However, York was heading to Bridgeport at almost 100 miles an hour at just a little after 3:30 when school was getting out and buses were hitting the streets.

I wonder what everyone would say about the police if they had just let York keep going (by not chasing him) and he had killed a child?
